Visit your local repair shops and dealers. Sometimes they have obsolete stuff laying around. I've bought 2 OTC scanners for $20 each doing that.

Find a Snap-on Cornwall, dealer and try them for the same deal.

Watch some of the vette lists, they tend to figure out they can't figure it out and then unload them at times. I bartered a deal witha guy, and got a Diacom Plus for like 3 hours work.

If you have a laptop...you can get some free stuff off the net and then buy a AKM cable(referred to in Traxxion's article...look up).
